Anyway, one of the ground rules of the trial which I will make sure of on Wednesday is that not only can I opt out of participation in the trial at any time, I AM ALLOWED TO GET THE MODERNA OR PFIZER VACCINE AND STILL REMAIN IN THE TRIAL! That one seems odd to me, so I will get clarification.

How are they going to determine the efficacy of the Novavax if you get one of the others? But on further thought, I doubt that the county will give you the MODERNA OR PFIZER if they know you already had the Novavax .
I signed up for the vaccine on the Marion County website on Saturday. They are supposed to call back but i haven't heard from them yet. They are starting with the first signup and going from there.
A neighbor called the Marion County Health Department and they indicated that you will be called once and if you are not home, they will not leave a message and will be put at the bottom of the list. You'll have to start all over again. Unfortunately I left my landline number but I can forward with *72.
